I guess for Shuie its the "Tujague's" method?
Here it is in reverse:

Project 73 911 R/RS -- Week 13

Front wheels are chocked.

One jack is at the very rear of the floorpan with a 2x8x24. With an appropriate jack, you can raise the car very high.

With the tires still on the rear, I jack up the floor so tires are 2 inches or so off the ground and then, in a very controlled way, grab the car and *try* to tip it over, that is, really see how well it's on the jack.

Hope this helps and good luck with your drop!
